120-150 / 1000+ results research The genetics of alopecia areata: New approaches, new findings, new treatments
New genetic discoveries may lead to better treatments for alopecia areata.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Characteristics of Androgenetic Alopecia in Asian
Asian hair loss differs from Europeans; consider individual needs and psychological well-being for treatment.
research Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Potential to Predict Male Pattern Baldness
DNA variants can predict male pattern baldness, with higher risk scores increasing baldness likelihood.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities – Clues to Diagnosis and Treatment
Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare

The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research The Female Pattern Hair Loss: Review of Etiopathogenesis and Diagnosis
Female pattern hair loss involves hormonal factors, genetics, and may be linked to low ferritin levels.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel loci conferring risk of acne vulgaris
New genetic factors linked to acne risk were discovered, highlighting the role of certain pathways and genes.

Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Ancient Genomes Reveal the Evolutionary History and Origin of Cashmere-Producing Goats in China
Ancient Chinese goats evolved cashmere-producing traits due to selective breeding, particularly in genes affecting hair growth.
